The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 27: Chapter 24 The Era of Universal Beast Training_1

```

After a little while, Lu Ran received another call from Little White Dragon.

"Lu classmate, I've inquired about it, and the League is indeed planning to establish Beast Training University."

"Right? Right?" Lu Ran laughed.

Your thick eyebrows and big eyes, Little White Dragon, yet my sources are quicker than yours.

"Mmm, from this perspective, Beast Training University indeed seems more suitable for young Beast Trainers like you... Additionally, my position may change in a while, that is, heading over to Beast Training University for recruitment work. If you have any questions by then, you can contact me."

Lu Ran was surprised, but still said, "No problem, about that registration thing..."

"Oh that matter, leave me your email address. I'll send you an electronic form later. Just fill it out, attach photos of both sides of your ID card, and email it back to me. That way, you won't need to step out."

"Alright, thanks for the trouble." Lu Ran, hearing that he wouldn't have to make the trip in person, was naturally happy to be at leisure.

On the other end, after hanging up the phone, Little White Dragon adjusted his tie. As a seasoned professional, he probably understood Zhao Zu's intentions.

Lu Ran is no ordinary person, and he even knows top-notch tycoons like Dr. Gu Qingyi.

Knowing that Lu Ran is going to study at Beast Training University, the old leader, while still having some clout, decided to send him, Little White Dragon, to work at Beast Training University.

On one hand, it was a promotion for him, and on the other hand, it was to continue building a good relationship with Lu Ran.

In this way, even if the old leader is transferred elsewhere, he could still maintain a connection with a promising talent like Lu Ran, creating an additional pathway.

Relative to this, not being able to personally unearth and recruit a potential talent like Lu Ran didn't seem like much of a regret anymore.

"Old ginger is indeed spicier. Compared to that, the ginger from Medicine Pavilion Guild is much milder." Little White Dragon mused.

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Lu Ran showed a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Fang Lan asked.

"I'm laughing because Dr. Gu seems to really be a big leg to hold onto. Brother Little White Dragon always wanted to bring me into the official fold, but as soon as I mentioned Gu Qingyi's name, he immediately stopped worrying about that matter. He probably thinks I'm on intimate terms with Dr. Gu, that I'm one of her people."

"With this, Dr. Gu doesn't know me, while the officials think I'm with Dr. Gu, so they've stopped worrying about me too. I can enjoy some freedom for a while."

Fang Lan rolled her eyes and said, "I was wondering why you kept mentioning Dr. Gu. You really are too cunning."

"I just don't like being managed by others. Besides, studying offers much more freedom, and everything I said was true. It's probably just their own imagination running wild..." Said Lu Ran, "Alright, now we just wait for the official news about Beast Training University to be announced."

"I need to level up quickly; maybe by then, I can directly become a teacher. When that time comes, I'll make you the class president," Lu Ran joked.

Fang Lan: ???

"Why don't you just become the principal?"

...

Eight in the evening.

By this time, the vast majority of people had already set aside work and studies, turning towards rest and entertainment.

In this internet age, as compared to watching TV for relaxation, people tired from a day's work preferred to hold their smartphones and scroll through various short videos and exhilarating novels to briefly please their minds.

However, this evening, everyone's phones, across different apps, simultaneously popped up with a message.

There were video apps, news apps—almost all kinds of apps—were sending out notifications.

The content of the news was quite eye-catching too.

The format of the live broadcast was a panel discussion with two experts and a host.

In the living room, while eating takeout, Lu Ran and Fang Lan watched.

At first, Lu Ran was curious about how the officials would explain the existence of Infinite City, but he didn't have to wonder for long, and soon he found it amusing.

Indeed, compared to alien civilizations and unresolved mysteries, this approach seemed more acceptable to the public, especially since Xia Country itself has many mythological histories.

The content of the live broadcast roughly talked about how, three years ago, teams of explorers from different countries discovered a mysterious relic in Antarctica. This relic contained information about a lost super ancient civilization.

In ancient times, Blue Star was suffused with Spiritual Energy, under which every creature wielded terrifying strength, capable of moving mountains and seas.

Humans had already existed back then, and to survive better, they invented Beast Training sects, using the power of beasts to enhance themselves.

The Beast Training civilization, after lengthy development, reached its peak. But due to unknown reasons, Blue Star's Spiritual Energy suddenly vanished, and the extraordinary faded away.

Divine Beasts turned into ordinary animals, and humans gradually devolved because they no longer adapted to Blue Star's environment.

To preserve their legacy, this Beast Training civilization used their last strength to build a city in a Different Space: Infinite City, connected to the historical projections, to pass down the Beast Training system.

The relic discovered by the expedition teams was the mechanism to initiate this legacy.

Currently, the inheritance system of the super ancient Beast Training civilization has been activated and is selecting inheritors on a large scale in the modern world.

"Holy shit, for real?" Many people lying in bed watching the live broadcast were dumbfounded by the content.

Initially, they subconsciously thought it was some sort of prank broadcast, but after seeing the verification badge of official media, a crowd was suddenly bewildered.

```

"Professor Niu, it seems that the development of this Beast Training civilization far exceeds ours. How should we approach it?" During the live broadcast, the female host asked an elderly man with a bulbous nose.

"This is an opportunity. We have always believed that we were the life forms at the forefront of the world, but who could have imagined such a flourishing period in the super ancient past? We should actively make contact with, and explore, Infinite City, excavating the lost history. From the information we have, the various supernatural powers brought about by the super ancient civilization could bring about massive transformations in a variety of fields including medical, transportation, military, and more."

"Professor Ma, there have been numerous reports online of teenagers being selected by the Contract Black Cards distributed by Infinite City. However, based on the current intelligence, inheriting the ancient civilization's legacy still carries certain risks. Do you have any advice for those who have been chosen?"

With a contemplative expression, Professor Ma said, "I think the most important thing is not to randomly choose your initial Pet Beast. If there is no great confidence, one should contact the authorities as soon as possible. Correspondingly, the authorities should also quickly release known Trial Secret Realm information to increase the success rate of those who have been chosen."

"Although this is an opportunity, it is also very dangerous. I hope those who have been selected will treat it with caution, and those who haven't been selected should not be discouraged. They can try raising pets, as this is a method that can effectively increase the chances of being selected."

"Furthermore! One must treat their own pets kindly! Care for them with all your heart!"

...

"Listening to that, it seems to make sense," Fang Lan muttered, slurping up some spicy snail noodles.

"There's nothing wrong with what they're saying, but I always feel it's not that simple," Lu Ran said while eating grilled durian.

The two of them ate while deep in thought. Was the information released by the officials true?

Following this broadcast, various major media outlets also began to release all kinds of news.

Incidents like "Ferocious Beasts devouring their owners" and "Beast Trainer trial deaths," previously unreleased, sprouted up like mushrooms after the rain.

At the same time, many experienced Beast Trainers who were selected early on also started offering advice to the newcomers.

This phenomenon was not just happening in Xia Country; at this moment, it was happening in every country on Blue Star.

The whole world was in an uproar!

In less than an hour, it seemed as if a layer of fog had been blown away from the world, ushering in a new era, dreamlike and surreal.

Older people could not readily accept such a setting, as their worldview was already set in stone.

On the other hand, young people, deeply influenced by the internet, were exhilarated, as if they had been living for just this day for over a decade.

What young person doesn't have a dream of being extraordinary?

You could even say that the changes in the world now were exactly what they had been anticipating, as if this were the true face of the world.

Once the information about Infinite City and Beast Training civilization was disclosed, the supernatural wasn't just circulating on a few forums anymore. The gaming groups, resource sharing groups, and class groups Lu Ran was part of also became instantly lively.

He first clicked into the class group because it seemed someone was @ him there.

Yang Xishuai: [Hahaha, no way, no way, I can't be the only one in the entire class who got a Black Card, can I?]

Yang Xishuai: [Pic]

Yang Xishuai: [Guys, don't be sad. When I become a big boss, I'll definitely bring you all with me. Hey, what should I choose for my initial Pet Beast contract?]

In the group chat, a chosen one strutted confidently.

Everyone else was a mix of envy, jealousy, and bitterness—bitter as if they had bitten into lemons.

Some were groveling, calling him 'dad,' while others were giving bad advice.

But at this time, Yang Xishuai's attention was only on Lu Ran.

Yang Xishuai: [ @Lu Ran, just you wait, I will definitely avenge my grandfather.]

Lu Ran: [?]

What the, what have I got to do with it? Which grandpa are you talking about?

Yang Xishuai: [You took leave just to attend the insect fighting tournament, huh? You even beat my grandpa. He couldn't sleep all night. But no worries, here I come! For my initial Pet Beast, how about contracting an insect type? I feel like an endlessly evolving insect race is the strongest!]

Lu Ran: ???

Damn, why does your name sound so familiar? Turns out Yang Xishuai breeds crickets? Shit, the runner-up old man I defeated, that wasn't your grandpa, was it?

Lu Ran quickly closed the group chat, but after a moment of thought, he reopened it and replied.

Lu Ran: [Contracting insects can be risky. It's recommended to consult the officials.]

Still thinking about fighting insects with superpowered insect races... Have some shame!

After saying this, he closed the group chat again.

"Hahahaha." Apart from Lu Ran, Fang Lan was also peeping into various groups.

She held her belly and laughed, "In my fan group, a fan was also selected. He was confused when he got the Contract Card. Just at that moment, a cockroach from the south flew by, and on impulse, he used the Black Card to shoo it away, accidentally contracting the roach... Now he has one hour before entering the trial, and he's panicking."

"Ah, that." Lu Ran said, "In general, cockroaches have strong vitality, so it seems... it seems they should be able to clear the trials."

"Ahem." Fang Lan regained her composure, "My fans are also pet lovers, so it feels like there's a pretty good chance they'll be chosen by Black Cards. I need to quickly gather and summarize some related information to share with them."

Lu Ran nodded, then yawned, feeling sleepy.

"You handle it, I'm a bit sleepy. I'll just crash here tonight, make sure you keep an eye on those crawling pets, don't let them out. I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night to find spiders or centipedes crawling on me, thanks."
